Hi, I'm Joanna. I'm a London tour guide and Londoner,

嗨，我是喬安娜。我是一名倫敦導遊，也是土生土長的倫敦人，

and I'm so excited to show you my amazing city.

我非常興奮能帶你們參觀這座令人驚豔的城市。

Let's start with the top sights.

讓我們先從必訪景點開始吧。

Buckingham Palace is definitely one of them. It's the official residence of the British monarch.

白金漢宮絕對是其中之一。它是英國君主的官邸。

From the famous Tower Bridge, you'll have a great view of the city along the Thames.

從著名的倫敦塔橋，你可以欣賞到泰晤士河沿岸的絕美市景。

St. Paul's Cathedral, with its monumental dome, is also worth a visit.

聖保羅大教堂擁有雄偉的圓頂，也非常值得一遊。

And, of course, no trip to London would be complete without seeing Westminster and Big Ben.

當然，如果沒去過西敏區和大笨鐘，倫敦之行就不算完整。

Westminster Abbey is also well worth a visit.

西敏寺也相當值得造訪。

Construction of this Gothic church began in 1245.

這座哥德式教堂於 1245 年開始興建。

More than 1.5 million visitors come to see it every year.

每年有超過 150 萬名遊客前來參觀。

Westminster Abbey is amazing. It's a must-see while you're here.

西敏寺令人驚嘆，來這裡絕對不容錯過。

This is basically where pretty much all the kings have been coronated since 1066, so you can see the coronation chair itself.

自 1066 年以來，幾乎所有國王都是在這裡加冕的，所以你可以親眼看到加冕椅本身。

If it's a busy time of year, I would book tickets in advance if you want to visit.

如果是一年中的旅遊旺季，想參觀的話我建議提早預訂門票。

But if it speaks to you, it's free to attend the service,

但如果你有興趣，參加禮拜活動是免費的，

so anyone is welcome. And I particularly love the Evensong,

所以歡迎所有人前來。我個人特別喜歡晚禱崇拜，

which you get to hear the Westminster choir and you hear the music in the amazing architecture as well.

你可以聽到西敏寺唱詩班的歌聲，在令人讚嘆的建築中感受音樂的悠揚。

And there are plenty of museums to choose from in London, like the Natural History Museum, for example,

而且倫敦有許多博物館可供選擇，例如自然史博物館，

one of the largest natural history museums in the world.

它是世界上最大的自然史博物館之一。

Or the Tate Modern.

或是泰特現代藝術館。

Modern and contemporary artworks are on display in this converted power plant.

這座由發電廠改建的場館裡展出著現代與當代藝術作品。

Best of all, admission to the permanent exhibitions at both museums is free.

最棒的是，這兩座博物館的常設展覽都是免費參觀的。

The British Museum's permanent collection is also free to enter.

大英博物館的常設展覽也是免費入場的。

More than 6 million visitors come each year.

每年吸引超過 600 萬名遊客造訪。

The exhibitions chronicle human history.

展覽詳盡記錄了人類的歷史。

There's literally two million years of history and culture in one building.

這棟建築裡涵蓋了整整兩百萬年的人類歷史與文化。

Fifty galleries to explore, there's eight million objects.

有 50 個展廳可以探索，藏品多達 800 萬件。

You can literally come here every day of the year and you'd find something new.

你真的可以一年中每天都來，每次都能發現新東西。

I would give a good tip. If you're not really sure where to go, what to see,

我有一個很棒的建議。如果你不太確定該去哪裡、該看什麼，

go to the desk when you get in there. And every day, they'll have a list of volunteer-led 40-minute tours of just of one gallery.

進去後可以去服務台。每天他們都會有一張由志工帶領的 40 分鐘單一展廳導覽清單。

That will give you a really good sense to discover just one piece.

這能讓你有很棒的深入體驗，好好認識單一展區。

London is a big city.

倫敦是一座大城市。

To see as much as possible, you should definitely take the bus or subway.

為了多看一點風景，你一定要搭乘公車或地鐵。

Here's a tip: you can enter and exit using a credit card,

小撇步：你可以直接刷信用卡進出站，

and the system will automatically select the cheapest fare.

系統會自動為你計算出最便宜的票價組合。

Or you can rent a bike.

或者你也可以租一輛自行車。

Bike share stations are practically everywhere in the city,

共享單車站幾乎遍布全城，

and London's network of bike lanes has been massively improved in recent years.

而且倫敦的自行車道網絡近年來大幅改善。

It's loads of stuff that you'll see on a bike that you would miss if you're going underground or on a taxi.

騎自行車能看到很多搭地鐵或計程車時會錯過的街景風光。

You'll be able to get down the little old alleyways of the old city.

你可以穿梭在老城區狹窄古老的巷弄間，

You'll be able to get up into the parks,

你可以騎進公園裡，

and you'll be able to see the real back streets of London

還能見識到倫敦真實的後街小巷，

that you're just going to miss if you're zooming around in a taxi or underground.

這些都是你匆匆搭乘計程車或地鐵時絕對會錯過的。

You can also quickly bike from the city center to the borough of Camden.

你也可以從市中心快速騎車到卡姆登自治市。

There you'll find Primrose Hill Park, with its nearly 63-meter-high hill.

在那裡你會看到櫻草花山公園，園內有一座近 63 公尺高的小山丘。

Of course, there are many parks in London: Hyde Park, Regent's Park, so many to choose from.

當然，倫敦有很多公園：海德公園、攝政公園，選擇多不勝數。

But what's special about this one, is it's Primrose Hill, is the view.

但櫻草花山最特別的地方就是它的視野與景致。

You get an amazing view from the top. As well as that, we have an amazing neighborhood,

從山頂可以俯瞰絕美全景。除此之外，這裡還有很棒的街區，

the Primrose Hill area, there's cafes, you might even spot a few celebrities walking around of an evening.

櫻草花山這一帶有咖啡館，傍晚散步時甚至可能巧遇幾位名人。

And also, if you're wondering on a nice sunny day where all the Londoners are,

另外，如果你好奇在晴朗舒適的好日子裡倫敦人都去哪了，

we're probably up here sitting here in the park with a beer, relaxing.

我們大概都坐在這座公園裡喝著啤酒、放鬆身心呢。

Here's a tip: there's a unique place to stay very close to Primrose Hill.

推薦大家一個小秘訣：在櫻草花山附近有一處獨具特色的住宿地點。

Palmers Lodge hostel has been housed in a Victorian building dating back to 1881.

帕默斯洛奇青年旅舍座落在一棟建於 1881 年的維多利亞時代建築中。

It doesn't get much more English than this.

這大概是最具英倫風情的住宿體驗了。

Plus, it's affordable.

此外，價格相當親民。

A bed in an 18-bed dorm starts at just 18 pounds per night, depending on the season.

18 人宿舍的一張床位每晚只需 18 英鎊起，具體價格依淡旺季而定。

Of course, a double room is more expensive.

當然，雙人房的價格會比較高。

I love this one because it's just got so much character.

我非常喜歡這裡，因為它真的極具特色。

If you look around, we've got knights in a suit of armor,

環顧四周，你會看到穿著全套盔甲的騎士雕像，

you've got a bar downstairs with happy hour. It's got so much character.

樓下還有舉辦歡樂時光的酒吧，充滿了迷人的韻味。

Why would you stay in a kind of generic chain hotel when you can stay somewhere with so much character?

既然能住在這麼有特色的地方，何必去住毫無特色的連鎖飯店呢？

It's going to give you so much more kind of London memories for your trip.

這能為你的旅程增添更多屬於倫敦的難忘回憶。

Getting hungry?

肚子餓了嗎？

Fancy a traditional British afternoon tea, complete with sandwiches, at the legendary luxury hotel, The Savoy?

想要在傳奇奢華的薩伏伊酒店，享用搭配三明治的道地傳統英式下午茶嗎？

If you're looking for something more affordable, you can also try England's unofficial national dish, fish and chips.

如果你想找平價一點的美食，也可以嚐嚐英國的非官方國菜：炸魚薯條。

Or head to Chinatown, with its countless Asian restaurants where you can eat on a budget.

或者前往中國城，那裡有數不盡的亞洲餐館，讓你經濟實惠地大飽口福。

Just a bit outside of Chinatown, you'll find Master Wei.

在中國城稍外圍一點的地方，你會找到「魏大廚」餐廳。

Here, you can enjoy authentic homemade noodle dishes in the style of Xi'an,

在這裡，你可以品嚐道地的手工西安風味麵食，

the provincial capital of Shaanxi, China.

西安是中國陝西省的省會。

The cuisine there is rooted in a tradition dating back more than 2,000 years.

當地的料理傳統源遠流長，可追溯至兩千多年前。

The prices are also reasonable here.

這裡的價格也相當公道合理。

I love this restaurant because you can get this amazing Xi'an food. It's fresh, it's got this amazing ingredients.

我超愛這家餐廳，因為你能吃到極為道地的西安美食。食材新鮮且風味絕佳。

Chef Wei makes these Biang Biang noodles, they're hand-pulled, you get all different flavors.

魏大廚製作的這些 biangbiang 麵都是純手工扯拉出來的，而且有多種口味可選。

And it's a little bit further away from Chinatown, so it's a little bit off the beaten track, but it's well worth a visit.

它距離中國城稍有一小段路，屬於比較隱密低調的景點，但絕對值得親自一訪。

To end the day, we recommend doing something Londoners love:

在一天結束之際，我們推薦體驗一項倫敦人的最愛：

enjoying a beer at one of the many pubs found on almost every street corner.

在幾乎每個街角都能找到的眾多酒吧裡，暢飲一杯啤酒。

Here at The Lamb in the Bloomsbury neighborhood, they've been serving beer for nearly 300 years.

這家位於布倫斯伯里街區的 The Lamb 酒吧，供應啤酒已將近 300 年。

You have to go to the pub at least once when you're visiting,

來倫敦旅遊時，你至少一定要去一次酒吧，

because this is where, it's such a big part of our culture.

因為這在我們的文化中佔了非常重要的地位。

You get to chat to people, you get to sample the beers.

你可以和當地人聊天，品嚐各種啤酒風味。

And, of course, remember you've got to go up to the bar and get your drinks, they're not going to come and serve you at the table.

當然，記得要自己走到吧台點飲料，他們是不會特地到桌邊為你服務的。

And you really get to feel and experience the real London, and you know, they're our front living rooms.

你能真正感受並體驗道地的倫敦生活，你知道的，酒吧就像我們自家的客廳一樣親切。
